The Pin

Yesterday, the bloodmobile was at work again. I always look forward to donating blood. I started way back when I was in college. I look forward to it each time the bus is scheduled to come to work. If it doesn’t fit into my work schedule I get kind of bummed. But this time I didn’t have any work preventing me from donating, yay! The last couple of months have been kind of blah. A lot has been going on. I’ve been feeling like I can’t get enough done, that I need to do more. But I wanted to, needed to take the time to donate blood, to help others. So, I am done with the interview portion and I am sitting in the chair all set up while my donation is being collected. I’m happy that I am not sick and my hemoglobin was not low today so I am able donate. It’s a good day! Not to long into the collection process I am told that I am getting my 5 gallon pin today. A huge sense of accomplishment came over me. Words cannot express how it lifted me. I donate to help others. This time, it helped me when I really needed it!

Six gallon pin, here I come.
